First Aid for Dogs and Cats

If you love your pet, you will love this class! We will examine the most common injuries that may arise from the curiosity of dogs and cats and how to effectively treat them. There will also be a discussion of CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and a chance to practice the technique. We will also cover common concerns of small animals that owners have and ways to keep pets healthy.

Instructor: Bill Testerman, DVM.

Bill has been a practicing veterinarian for the past 46 years, graduating from Auburn University. After a stint in the U.S. Army, Bill & his wife joined the Peace Corps and served for two years in Peru. Later, when they had three children, they returned to Bolivia where he was an instructor in a veterinary college for two years. He has spent the last 30 years in Anacortes working with mostly small animals and occasionally farm animals that have become family pets. Although officially retired, Bill still enjoys filling in for relief work to keep up with the latest in veterinary medicine.
